善導會2024-2025年報

9 | 2024-2025 | 年報 ANNUAL REPORT / CHAIRPERSON’S MESSAGE 主 Meanwhile, the Employment Development Service has recruited ex- offenders to form the “SO Great” team, which organised multiple community health and anti-scam activities this year. Teammembers also acted as peers to proactively serve the community, inspiring others with their experiences. The transition from “receiver” to “giver” is the most precious gain on the path to desistance, showing that every individual’s transformation is worth anticipating. Integrating into National Development: Expanding Horizons from the Greater Bay Area The Government is adopting a multi-pronged approach to advance the development of social services in Hong Kong, actively seizing opportunities brought by Greater Bay Area initiatives to strengthen cross-border collaboration and knowledge exchange. SideBySide participated in the Exchange and Study Programme for Guangdong– Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area Social Welfare Development, co-organised by the Labour and Welfare Bureau and the Social Welfare Department of the Hong Kong SAR Government, Connecting Hearts, and the Guoqiang Foundation. The exchange served as an important platform for social welfare organisations across the three regions to connect, fostering professional exchange and mutual learning. In a rapidly evolving society, all regions face emerging challenges such as mental health issues and academic pressure among young people. Hong Kong’s accumulated experience in these areas can serve as a valuable reference for other Greater Bay Area cities, while the Chinese Mainland’s strengths in digital technology applications provide meaningful insights for Hong Kong. SideBySide actively seized this collaboration opportunity and signed memoranda of understanding with three social welfare organisations from Zhuhai and Guangzhou, marking a significant step forward in strengthening regional cooperation. 與此同時 , 職業發展服務積極招募更生人士 組成 「 甦機健康團 」 , 在年內舉行多次社區健 康及防騙活動 , 更以朋輩身份主動組織和服 務社區 , 以自身經歷啟發其他人 。 由 「 受助 」 到 「 施予 」 的轉變 , 正是康復路上最寶貴的收 穫 。 他們的經歷告訴我們 : 每個人的改變都值 得被期待 。 融入國家發展 : 從大灣區出發拓展 服務視野 政府正多管齊下推動香港社會服務發展 , 積 極把握大灣區建設帶來的協作契機 , 促進跨 境合作與經驗交流 。 今年 , 善導會參與由香港 特別行政區政府勞工及福利局和社會福利署 、 香港社福界心連心大行動 ( 簡稱 「 心連心 」), 以及國強公益基金會合辦的 「 粵港澳大灣區 社福發展交流計劃研學班 」( 香港研學班 )。 是次交流不僅為粵港澳三地社福機構搭建了 重要橋樑 , 更促進彼此間的專業交流 , 推動了 跨地域的互學互鑑 。 在當今社會快速發展的 背景下 , 各地共同面臨著精神健康 、 青少年學 業壓力等新興挑戰 。 香港在這些領域已積累 相當經驗 , 能為大灣區其他城市提供借鑑 ; 同 時 , 內地在數碼科技應用等領域的優勢 , 也值 得香港深入學習 。 善導會積極把握此合作契 機 , 與珠海市香洲區心理協會 、 廣州市北斗星 社會工作服務中心 、 廣州市和悅社會工作服 務中心三家機構簽署 「 粵港澳大灣區社會服 務合作項目 」 合作備忘錄 , 標誌著本會在推進 區域協作方面邁出實質性步伐 。
